Friends.
so, in my system somewhere all the downloaded packages are there.
Where are they?
unless you did an "apt-get clean" all the downloaded packages will be
available in: /var/cache/apt/archives/
How do create an ubuntu update cd using thses packs.
Generate the index of the available packages :
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages
Now, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list and do an 'apt-get update'
deb file:/var/cache/apt/archives ./
This is not the way how packages are generally stored on CDs and
ofcourse you should customize it to your needs.
